CNSNews.com managing editor Michael W. Chapman loves to use his post to indulge in gay-bashing. He does so again in a May 11 article in which he viewed with horror that major league baseball teams have LGBT nights.
“Sadly, 23 of the 30 Major League Baseball (MLB) teams are promoting homosexuality through “LGBT Pride” nights this year, reported Outsports.com,” Chapman intoned, adding with pride that “only two MLB teams — New York Yankees and Los Angeles Angels — have never held such ‘pride’ nights.”
Chapman then described in a similar horror-stricken tone what happens on such nights:
At MLB’s “LGBT Pride” nights, the gay rainbow flags are often unfurled, there is “raibow-themed baseball merchandise,” the promotion of LGBT organizations, and homosexuals or transgenders are often invited to throw the ceremonial first pitch, reported LifeSiteNews.
The stadiums, despite the presence of children, also often use the “kiss cams” to project gays kissing onto a large screen.
Oh, the horror.
Chapman also quoted MLB official Billy Bean, “an openly homosexual former player,” calling the pride nights as being “in the spirit of Jackie Robinson,” which caused Chapman to huff: “There is no equivalency between race and sex and it is not known whether Robinson ever supported homosexuality.”
For all of this simmering outrage, Chapman never mentions that many MLB teams also offer “faith and family nights” in which players and fans get to play up their Christian faith.
